[QUOTE="SmackIt, post: 1159734, member: 87039"] Thank you for creating such detailed instructions. I decided to remove the tank, as it's only one more bolt and the two hoses, much easier to get at everything and really get a good view of what you're doing. I put a piece of safety wire on the spring to make sure it only unwound once, but it wasn't necessary, as mine is one of those that the spring doesn't contact the spring tang after a single unwind revolution. At first I was having trouble with the throttle snapping back, but I cleaned everything around the spring area thoroughly and did a super clean and lube on the cables. Now it snaps back great and the performance is perfect. I also have the G2 throttle body and a Vista Cruise and couldn't be happier. My last two bikes were a carbureted Concours 1000 and a fuel injected V-Strom. From what I can tell, fuel injection just isn't as smooth and precise as carburetors. Although my FJR is much improved, and my V-Strom was only a little touchy, both fuel injected bikes are no where near as easy to control at low speeds as the old Concours. [/QUOTE]
